I ordered a replacement harness when we passed the Wizard to ds from dd. She had abused it with reflux and then food... so I got all the parts, a new adjuster because it was fraying on the edges, etc.
My harness straps - when they are routed in, the little velcro tabs are waaaay too high. On the original straps the velcro wasn't exactly right either, I couldn't use the tabs to catch the straps in the seat, so I just never used them. Now they are waaay higher on the straps, which means when I put ds in the seat, and tighten it, they get caught at the buckle tongues. Leaving a lot of excess strap at his thighs that SHOULD be pulled tighter. With the velcro on there, the straps won't slide through the tongues, it's really obvious they are too high on the straps.
I don't need them, I won't use them, so should I call Britax and have them send me a new set, or should I just take my sewing scissors and remove the stitches that hold the velcro in place? I'm guessing that the scissors method will mean I've voided my proper use of the seat, eh?
Anyone else have this problem? I'm sure on bigger kids it's not an issue at all, but he has tiny hips and tiny thighs, so in the meantime he's riding in the Radian and dd is back in the Wiz, he's too tall for the infant bucket, and our other seats are on loan for the next 2 weeks.
